ABSTRACT

The invention relates to novel organic compounds of formula (I) 
                         
and their use in the treatment of the animal or human body, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula I and to the use of a compound of formula I for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment of protein kinase dependent diseases, especially of proliferative diseases, such as in the treatment of tumor diseases and ocular neovascular diseases.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/632,396 filed Dec. 7, 2009 now U.S. Pat. No. 8,242,125, which claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/201,243, filed Dec. 9, 2008, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/233,341, filed Aug. 12, 2009, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

The invention relates to bicyclic heterocyclyl compounds substituted at both rings of formula I and their use in the treatment of the animal or human body, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula I and to the use of a compound of formula I for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment of protein kinase dependent diseases, especially of proliferative diseases, such as in particular tumour diseases and ocular neovascularization diseases.

Protein kinases (PKs) are enzymes which catalyze the phosphorylation of specific serine, threonine or tyrosine residues in cellular proteins. These post-translational modifications of substrate proteins act as molecular switch regulating cell proliferation, activation and/or differentiation. Aberrant or excessive wild-type or mutated PK activity has been observed in many disease states including benign and malignant proliferative disorders. In many cases, it has been possible to treat diseases, such as proliferative disorders, by making use of PK inhibitors.

In view of the large number of protein kinases and the multitude of proliferative and other PK-related diseases, there is an ever-existing need to provide compounds that are useful as PK inhibitors and thus in the treatment of these PK related diseases.

It has now been found that the compounds of formula I show inhibition of a number of protein kinases. The compounds of formula I, described below in more detail, especially show inhibition of one or more of the following protein kinases: EphB4, c-Abl, Bcr-Abl, c-Kit, Raf kinases such as especially B-Raf, the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene, Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptors (PDGF-Rs), Lck, Hck and most especially the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors (VEGF-Rs) such as in particular VEGF-R2. The compounds of formula I further also inhibit mutants of said kinases. In view of these activities, the compounds of formula I can be used for the treatment of diseases related to especially aberrant or excessive activity of such types of kinases, especially those mentioned.

For purposes of interpreting this specification, the following definitions will apply and whenever appropriate, terms used in the singular will also include the plural and vice versa.

As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to a fully saturated branched or unbranched hydrocarbon moiety. Preferably the alkyl comprises 1 to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 16 carbon atoms, 1 to 10 carbon atoms, 1 to 7 carbon atoms, or 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Representative examples of alkyl include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylpentyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl and the like.

As used herein, the term “haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl as defined herein, that is substituted by one or more halo groups as defined herein. Preferably the haloalkyl can be monohaloalkyl, dihaloalkyl or polyhaloalkyl including perhaloalkyl. A monohaloalkyl can have one iodo, bromo, chloro or fluoro within the alkyl group. Dihaloalky and polyhaloalkyl groups can have two or more of the same halo atoms or a combination of different halo groups within the alkyl. Preferably, the polyhaloalkyl contains up to 12, or 10, or 8, or 6, or 4, or 3, or 2 halo groups. Non-limiting examples of haloalkyl include fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, chloromethyl, dichloromethyl, trichloromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, heptafluoropropyl, difluorochloromethyl, dichlorofluoromethyl, difluoroethyl, difluoropropyl, dichloroethyl and dichloropropyl. A perhaloalkyl refers to an alkyl having all hydrogen atoms replaced with halo atoms.

The term “aryl” refers to monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 6-20 carbon atoms in the ring portion. Preferably, the aryl is a (C₆-C₁₀) aryl. Non-limiting examples include phenyl, biphenyl, naphthyl or tetrahydronaphthyl, each of which may optionally be substituted by 1-4 substituents, such as alkyl, trifluoromethyl, cycloalkyl, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl, alkyl-C(O)—O—, aryl-O—, heteroaryl-O—, amino, thiol, alkyl-S—, aryl-S—, nitro, cyano, carboxy, alkyl-O—C(O)—, carbamoyl, alkyl-S(O)—, sulfonyl, sulfonamido, heterocyclyl and the like.

Furthermore, the term “aryl” as used herein, refers to an aromatic substituent which can be a single aromatic ring, or multiple aromatic rings that are fused together, linked covalently, or linked to a common group such as a methylene or ethylene moiety. The common linking group also can be a carbonyl as in benzophenone or oxygen as in diphenylether or nitrogen as in diphenylamine.

As used herein, the term “alkoxy” refers to alkyl-O—, wherein alkyl is defined herein above.

As used herein, the term “halogen” or “halo” refers to fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo.

As used herein, the term “isomers” refers to different compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in arrangement and configuration of the atoms. Also as used herein, the term “an optical isomer” or “a stereoisomer” refers to any of the various stereo isomeric configurations which may exist for a given compound of the present invention and includes geometric isomers. It is understood that a substituent may be attached at a chiral center of a carbon atom. Therefore, the invention includes enantiomers, diastereomers or racemates of the compound. “Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a “racemic” mixture. The term is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate. “Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other. The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R-S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (−) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans-configuration. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the compounds of this invention and, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. In many cases, the compounds of the present invention are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids, e.g., acetate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulphate/sulphate, borate, camsylate, citrate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tartrate, tosylate and trifluoroacetate salts. Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid. Organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and salicylic acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic bases. Inorganic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and aluminum; particularly preferred are the ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium salts. Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, and basic ion exchange resins, specifically such as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, and ethanolamine. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from a parent compound, a basic or acidic moiety, by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base (such as Na, Ca, Mg, or K hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or the like), or by reacting free base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate acid. Such reactions are typically carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Generally, non-aqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are preferred, where practicable. Lists of additional suitable salts can be found, e.g., in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences”, 20th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., (1985); and in “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002).

The present invention includes all pharmaceutically acceptable isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention, i.e. compounds of formula (I), wherein (1) one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature, and/or (2) the isotopic ratio of one or more atoms is different from the naturally occurring ratio.

Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention comprises isotopes of hydrogen, such as ²H and ³H, carbon, such as ¹¹C, ¹³C and ¹⁴C, chlorine, such as ³⁶Cl, fluorine, such as ¹⁸F, iodine, such as ¹²³I and ¹²⁵I, nitrogen, such as ¹³N and ¹⁵N, oxygen, such as ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O and ¹⁸O, phosphorus, such as ³²P, and sulphur, such as ³⁵S.

Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of formula (I), for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e. ³H, and carbon-14, i.e. ¹⁴C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.

Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. ²H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. In certain compounds of Formula I, residues R₉ or the ring formed by the combination of R₈ and R₉ may comprise one or more deuterium atoms to improve metabolic stability of the compound in vivo.

Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.

Isotopically-labeled compounds of formula (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples and Preparations using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagents in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates in accordance with the invention include those wherein the solvent of crystallization may be isotopically substituted, e.g. D₂O, d₆-acetone, d₆-DMSO.

Compounds of the invention, i.e. compounds of formula I that contain groups capable of acting as donors and/or acceptors for hydrogen bonds may be capable of forming co-crystals with suitable co-crystal formers. These co-crystals may be prepared from compounds of formula I by known co-crystal forming procedures. Such procedures include grinding, heating, co-subliming, co-melting, or contacting in solution compounds of formula I with the co-crystal former under crystallization conditions and isolating co-crystals thereby formed. Suitable co-crystal formers include those described in WO 2004/078163. Hence the invention further provides co-crystals comprising a compound of formula I.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, surfactants, antioxidants, preservatives (e.g., antibacterial agents, antifungal agents), isotonic agents, absorption delaying agents, salts, preservatives, drugs, drug stabilizers, binders, excipients, disintegration agents, lubricants, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, dyes, such like materials and combinations thereof, as would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Ed. Mack Printing Company, 1990, pp. 1289-1329). Except insofar as any conventional carrier is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions is contemplated.

The term “a therapeutically effective amount” of a compound of the present invention refers to an amount of the compound of the present invention that will elicit the biological or medical response of a subject, for example, reduction or inhibition of an enzyme or a protein activity, or ameliorate symptoms, alleviate conditions, slow or delay disease progression, or prevent a disease, etc. In one non-limiting embodiment, the term “a therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of the compound of the present invention that, when administered to a subject, is effective to (1) at least partially alleviating, inhibiting, preventing and/or ameliorating a condition, or a disorder or a disease (i) mediated by VEGF or a receptor thereof, or (ii) associated with VEGF activity or the activity of a VEGF receptor, or (iii) characterized by abnormal activity of VEGF or a receptor thereof; or (2) reducing or inhibiting the activity of VEGF or a receptor thereof; or (3) reducing or inhibiting the expression of VEGF or a receptor thereof. In another non-limiting embodiment, the term “a therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of the compound of the present invention that, when administered to a cell, or a tissue, or a non-cellular biological material, or a medium, is effective to at least partially reducing or inhibiting the activity of VEGF or a receptor thereof; or at least partially reducing or inhibiting the expression of VEGF or a receptor thereof. The meaning of the term “a therapeutically effective amount” as illustrated in the above embodiment for VEGF or a receptor thereof applies by the same means to any other relevant proteins/peptides/enzymes, such as Ret, PDGFR alpha, and ckit.

As used herein, the term “subject” refers to an animal. Preferably, the animal is a mammal. A subject also refers to for example, primates (e.g., humans), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, birds and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the subject is a human.

As used herein, the term “inhibition” or “inhibiting” refers to the reduction or suppression of a given condition, symptom, or disorder, or disease, or a significant decrease in the baseline activity of a biological activity or process.

As used herein, the term “treating” or “treatment” of any disease or disorder refers in one embodiment, to ameliorating the disease or disorder (i.e., slowing or arresting or reducing the development of the disease or at least one of the clinical symptoms thereof). In another embodiment “treating” or “treatment” refers to alleviating or ameliorating at least one physical parameter including those which may not be discernible by the patient. In yet another embodiment, “treating” or “treatment” refers to modulating the disease or disorder, either physically, (e.g., stabilization of a discernible symptom), physiologically, (e.g., stabilization of a physical parameter), or both. In yet another embodiment, “treating” or “treatment” refers to preventing or delaying the onset or development or progression of the disease or disorder.

As used herein, the term “a,” “an,” “the” and similar terms used in the context of the present invention (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and plural unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by the context.

All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. “such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed.

Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon or the like) of the compound(s) of the present invention can be present in racemic or enantiomerically enriched, for example the (R)-, (S)- or (R,S)-configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50 enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess in the (R)- or (S)-configuration. Substituents at atoms with unsaturated bonds may, if possible, be present in cis-(Z)- or trans-(E)-form.

Accordingly, as used herein a compound of the present invention can be in the form of one of the possible isomers, rotamers, atropisomers, tautomers or mixtures thereof, for example, as substantially pure geometric (cis or trans) isomers, diastereomers, optical isomers (antipodes), racemates or mixtures thereof.

Any resulting mixtures of isomers can be separated on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the constituents, into the pure or substantially pure geometric or optical isomers, diastereomers, racemates, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.

Any resulting racemates of final products or intermediates can be resolved into the optical antipodes by known methods, e.g., by separation of the diastereomeric salts thereof, obtained with an optically active acid or base, and liberating the optically active acidic or basic compound. In particular, a basic moiety may thus be employed to resolve the compounds of the present invention into their optical antipodes, e.g., by fractional crystallization of a salt formed with an optically active acid, e.g., tartaric acid, dibenzoyl tartaric acid, diacetyl tartaric acid, di-O,O′-p-toluoyl tartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid or camphor-10-sulfonic acid. Racemic products can also be resolved by chiral chromatography, e.g., high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral adsorbent.

Compounds of the present invention are either obtained in the free form, as a salt thereof, or as prodrug derivatives thereof.

When both a basic group and an acid group are present in the same molecule, the compounds of the present invention may also form internal salts, e.g., zwitterionic molecules.

The present invention also provides pro-drugs of the compounds of the present invention that converts in vivo to the compounds of the present invention. A pro-drug is an active or inactive compound that is modified chemically through in vivo physiological action, such as hydrolysis, metabolism and the like, into a compound of this invention following administration of the prodrug to a subject. The suitability and techniques involved in making and using pro-drugs are well known by those skilled in the art. Prodrugs can be conceptually divided into two non-exclusive categories, bioprecursor prodrugs and carrier prodrugs. See The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, Ch. 31-32 (Ed. Wermuth, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif., 2001). Generally, bioprecursor prodrugs are compounds, which are inactive or have low activity compared to the corresponding active drug compound, that contain one or more protective groups and are converted to an active form by metabolism or solvolysis. Both the active drug form and any released metabolic products should have acceptably low toxicity.

Carrier prodrugs are drug compounds that contain a transport moiety, e.g., that improve uptake and/or localized delivery to a site(s) of action. Desirably for such a carrier prodrug, the linkage between the drug moiety and the transport moiety is a covalent bond, the prodrug is inactive or less active than the drug compound, and any released transport moiety is acceptably non-toxic. For prodrugs where the transport moiety is intended to enhance uptake, typically the release of the transport moiety should be rapid. In other cases, it is desirable to utilize a moiety that provides slow release, e.g., certain polymers or other moieties, such as cyclodextrins. Carrier prodrugs can, for example, be used to improve one or more of the following properties: increased lipophilicity, increased duration of pharmacological effects, increased site-specificity, decreased toxicity and adverse reactions, and/or improvement in drug formulation (e.g., stability, water solubility, suppression of an undesirable organoleptic or physiochemical property). For example, lipophilicity can be increased by esterification of (a) hydroxyl groups with lipophilic carboxylic acids (e.g., a carboxylic acid having at least one lipophilic moiety), or (b) carboxylic acid groups with lipophilic alcohols (e.g., an alcohol having at least one lipophilic moiety, for example aliphatic alcohols).

Exemplary prodrugs are, e.g., esters of free carboxylic acids and S-acyl derivatives of thiols and O-acyl derivatives of alcohols or phenols, wherein acyl has a meaning as defined herein. Preferred are pharmaceutically acceptable ester derivatives convertible by solvolysis under physiological conditions to the parent carboxylic acid, e.g., lower alkyl esters, cycloalkyl esters, lower alkenyl esters, benzyl esters, mono- or di-substituted lower alkyl esters, such as the □-(amino, mono- or di-lower alkylamino, carboxy, lower alkoxycarbonyl)-lower alkyl esters, the α-(lower alkanoyloxy, lower alkoxycarbonyl or di-lower alkylaminocarbonyl)-lower alkyl esters, such as the pivaloyloxymethyl ester and the like conventionally used in the art. In addition, amines have been masked as arylcarbonyloxymethyl substituted derivatives which are cleaved by esterases in vivo releasing the free drug and formaldehyde (Bundgaard, J. Med. Chem. 2503 (1989)). Moreover, drugs containing an acidic NH group, such as imidazole, imide, indole and the like, have been masked with N-acyloxymethyl groups (Bundgaard, Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985)). Hydroxy groups have been masked as esters and ethers. EP 039,051 (Sloan and Little) discloses Mannich-base hydroxamic acid prodrugs, their preparation and use.

Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the present invention and a carrier, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical composition can be formulated for particular routes of administration such as oral administration, ophthalmic administration (e.g., topical administration, intravitreal injection, implant (including intravitreal, transscleral, sub-Tenon, and the like, depot or the like), and parenteral administration, etc. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be made up in a solid form including capsules, tablets, pills, granules, powders or suppositories, or in a liquid form including solutions, suspensions or emulsions. The pharmaceutical compositions can be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or can contain conventional inert diluents, lubricating agents, or buffering agents, as well as adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifers and buffers etc.

Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions are tablets and gelatin capsules comprising the active ingredient together with

-   -   a) diluents, e.g., lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol,         sorbitol, cellulose and/or glycine;     -   b) lubricants, e.g., silica, talcum, stearic acid, its magnesium         or calcium salt and/or polyethyleneglycol; for tablets also     -   c) binders, e.g., magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste,         gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium         carboxymethylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone; if desired     -   d) disintegrants, e.g., starches, agar, alginic acid or its         sodium salt, or effervescent mixtures; and/or     -   e) absorbents, colorants, flavors and sweeteners.

General Synthetic Aspects

Typically, the compounds of formula (I) can be prepared according to the Schemes provided infra.

Compounds such as 7 (wherein R₁ is H or alkyl, R₈ and R₉ are substituted alkyl, H or taken together to be heterocyclic, Ar₂ is substituted phenyl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl, R₅ and R₆ are H or halo, Z₂ is N or CH) can be prepared by the general method outlined in scheme 1. Coupling of hydroxyl indole 1 to the functionalized pyrimidine or pyridine 2 (wherein LG is halo or the like or an activated alcohol) is accomplished by treatment of with a suitable base (such as DBU) in a solvent (such as acetonitrile) either at rt or with heating preferably at a temperature between rt and reflux to provide 3. Formation of urea 7 can be achieved by several methods such as, treatment of 3 with a suitable base (such as NaH or LiTMP) in a solvent (such as DMF or THF) preferably at 0° C. up to rt followed by the addition of an isocyanate 4 or an activated carbamate 5 (wherein Ar₂ is phenyl or substituted phenyl). Alternatively, 7 can be prepared by pre activation of either 3 or 6 with a coupling reagent (CR) such as CDI or the like followed by coupling to the other component facilitated by a suitable base (such as Et₃N, NaH).

Compounds such as 10 (wherein R₁, Ar₂, and R₅ and R₆ are as described above, R₁₁ and R₁₂ are H or alkyl, and R₁₃ and R₁₄ are H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl or taken together to be heterocyclyl or hetereoaryl and M is N or —S(O₂)—) are prepared by the general method depicted in Scheme 2. Compound 8 is formed by deprotection of 7a upon treatment with an acid (TFA, MsOH or the like) followed by conversion of the resulting alcohol to a suitable LG (mesylate, halo or the like). Carbonyl 8a can be prepared by oxidation (with DMP or the like) of the previous alcohol to give the aldehyde (R₂═H) or a sequence of oxidation to the aldehyde followed by the addition of an alkyl organometallic reagent (such as an alkyl grignard) followed by a second oxidation to provide the corresponding keto-compound 8a (R₂=alkyl). Treatment of nucleophile 9 with a suitable base (Et₃N, NaH or the like) and 8 between 0° C. and reflux in a suitable solvent provides 10. Alternatively, 10 can be prepared by reaction with 9 under reductive amination conditions (Na(AcO)₃BH or the like) with carbonyl 8a.

Compounds such as 12 (wherein R₁, Ar₂, and R₅ and R₆ are as described above, R₁₉ and R₂₁ are H, or alkyl, R₂₀ is alkyl, acyl, or sulfonyl and p is 0 or 1) are prepared by the general method depicted in Scheme 3. Compound II is formed by deprotection of 7b (wherein R₃ is a suitable nitrogen protecting group such as tert-butyl carbamate) upon treatment with an acid (TFA or the like). The free amine in 11 is then alkylated, acylated or sulfonlyated to give compound 12.

Compounds of type 15 (wherein R₁, Ar₂, and R₅ and R₆ are defined as described above and R₁₀ is alkyl, substituted alky, carboxylic amide, ester or acid) are generally prepared as described in Scheme 4. Coupling of hydroxyl indole 1 to the functionalized pyrimidine or pyridine 13 (wherein LG is halo, the like or an activated alcohol and Y is halo, alkyl or carboxyl) is accomplished by treatment of with a suitable base (such as DBU, NaH, NaOH or the like) in a suitable solvent either at rt or with heating preferably at a temperature between it and reflux followed by subsequent urea formation, generally as described in Scheme 1, to give 14. Further modification of Y (such as reduction, amidation, hydrolysis, and organometallic coupling) in compound 14 provides compounds of type 15.

The invention further includes any variant of the present processes, in which an intermediate product obtainable at any stage thereof is used as starting material and the remaining steps are carried out, or in which the starting materials are formed in situ under the reaction conditions, or in which the reaction components are used in the form of their salts or optically pure antipodes.

Compounds of the invention and intermediates can also be converted into each other according to methods generally known per se.

EXAMPLE 57 57-A. 5-(6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-indole-1-carboxylic acid (5-tert-butyl-isoxazol-3-yl)-amide

Tert-butyl 4-(1H-indol-5-yloxy)-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-6(7H)-carboxylate (127 mg, 0.360 mmol) is dissolved in THF (8 mL), flushed with nitrogen and cooled to 0° C. Sodium hydride (23 mg, 0.575 mmol, 60% in mineral oil) is added and the mixture is stirred for 10 minutes. Phenyl 5-tert-butylisoxazol-3-ylcarbamate (140 mg, 0.538 mmol) is added neat and the reaction is allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The reaction is cooled in an ice bath and quenched with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride (100 mL). The mixture is then diluted with ethyl acetate and the product is extracted (2×100 mL EtOAc). The organic layers are combined, dried and concentrated to a brown oil that is dissolved in 10 mL of DCM and cooled in an ice bath and 10 mL of TFA is added. Following completion of the reaction the DCM and TFA are removed and ethyl acetate is added to the residue along with ammonium hydroxide to quench the remaining TFA. The mixture is diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The organic layers are removed, dried, and concentrated. The residue is absorbed onto silica and separated via FCC (0-6% Methanol/DCM) to obtain N-(5-tert-butylisoxazol-3-yl)-5-(6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-1H-indole-1-carboxamide.

To a solution of Example 56-S (0.350 g, 0.813 mmol), Et₃N (0.57 mL, 4.07 mmol) and DCM (5 mL) is added acetic anhydride (0.084 mL, 0.894 mmol). After 0.5 h the solution is concentrated and the residue partitioned between DCM and saturated NaHCO₃. The organic layer is washed with brine. Following drying the organic layer is concentrated and the residue separated via FCC (1-10% MeOH/DCM) to give the title compound. MS (ESI) m/z 473.2 (M+1); At 27° C. in DMSO-d₆ solution Example 135-A exists as a mixture of amide rotamers. While not wishing to be bound by theory, hindered rotation about the nitrogen carbonyl bond results in two magnetically distinct environments for some protons. ¹H NMR is acquired at 80° C. which is above the temperature at which the separate rotamer ¹H peaks coalesce.

The following compounds are prepared with similar method. Such compounds are also prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid and amine using peptide coupling reagents (e.g. HATU see Example 40) or using the corresponding carboxylic acid chloride. Example 135-BN is prepared with similar method using ethyl chloroformate. For Examples 135-I, J, L, P, AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, AH removal of a BOC group from the nitrogen following amide formation is accomplished via treatment of the parent compound with TFA in DCM as described in previous examples.

At this temperature, the identified compounds exist as a mixture of amide rotamers (presumably due to hindered rotation around the nitrogen carbonyl bond). This does not permit for unequivocal assignment of each proton NMR signal. For signals that include both rotamers, assignment of shift, coupling, and proton number are noted. Other peaks corresponding to individual rotamers are noted by shift and coupling. ^(b1)H NMR spectra collected at the temperature listed with the Table for samples in DMSO-d₆ solution. At the specified temperature, the rate of rotation about the amide bond is sufficiently fast such that the ¹H NMR signals for the separate rotamers have collasced to a single signal thereby permiting assignment of each signal the proton NMR spectrum.

NaH (102 mg, 2.54 mmol) is added. The reaction is stirred in the ice bath for 30 minutes before Example 5-F (439 mg, 1.270 mmol) is added in 6 mL of DMF. After 2 h the reaction is cooled in an ice bath and diluted with 15 mL of ethyl acetate and quenched with 2 mL of a saturated solution of ammonium chloride. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and placed in a separatory funnel. The organic layer is removed and the water layer is extracted with another 50 mL ethyl acetate. The combined organics are dried, and concentrated. The solid is dissolved in 10 mL of DCM, cooled to 0° C., and treated with 2 mL of TFA. The ice bath is removed after 30 minutes and after an additional 1 h the reaction is concentrated and then diluted with 10 mL of ethyl acetate. The solution is treated with 3 mL of ammonium hydroxide. The solution is concentrated again to a white solid. The solid absorbed onto silica and separated via flash chromatography (0-10% NH₃/MeOH:DCM) to obtain the title compound. MS (ESI) m/z 406.0 (M+1). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ ppm 12.22 (br.

EXAMPLE 151 Ba/F3-Tel-KDR Cell Viability Inhibition Assay

This assay is a cell-based assay to measure the compound-mediated suppression of Ba/F3 cell proliferation and viability using the Luciferase bioluminescent assay commercially known as CellTiter-Glo™. In this case, a specifically modified cell line, Ba/F3-Tel-KDR is used. These cells are engineered such that intact signaling through the tyrosine kinase domain of KDR is critical for their survival. Inhibition of KDR signaling results in cell death which is quantitated using a cell viability assay. This is a homogeneous bioluminescent assay that yields a rapid, simple and sensitive determination of the number of viable cells in culture by generation of a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of ATP present in cells. KDR inhibitor compound dilutions are incubated with Ba/F3-Tel-KDR cells over a 48 hour period and the resulting cell viability is measured with a suitable luminometer.

This assay is performed in Ba/F3-Tel-KDR cells. Cells are cultured at 37° C. (5% CO₂) in medium containing RPMI-1640, 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, 2 mM Glutamax, 100 units/ml Pen/Strep, and 0.8 mg/ml G418. Medium is changed the day before the experiment. On Day 1, cells are plated into white solid bottom 384-well plates at 5000 cells/well in 25 μl culture medium. A ten-point dose response curve is prepared as follows: compounds are first serially diluted 3-fold in 100% DMSO, starting from 10 mM. Then the compounds are further diluted 166.67-fold in culture medium. 5 μl of diluted compound is added to cell plates with 25 μl culture medium. The final concentrations of the compounds are: 10, 3.33, 1.11, 0.37, 0.123, 0.041, 0.0137, 0.0046, 0.0015, and 0.0005 μM. The final concentration of DMSO is 0.1%. Wells without or with cells plus 0.1% DMSO serve as controls. On Day 3, Lyophilized CellTiter-Glo buffer and substrate and the cell plates are first equilibrated to room temperature. Substrate is reconstituted in buffer and 30 μl reconstituted substrate is added to each well. After incubation for 10 minutes at room temperature, plates are read in a luminometer. Compounds are tested in a 10-point dose response and each concentration is run in triplicate on a given plate. Each plate is run in duplicate. Data analysis and 1050 generation are performed using Excel and Prism software.
